How to Choose a Personal Injury Lawyer

 

A personal injury lawyer can help you navigate legal hurdles, medical access and insurance coverage. They have the experience, knowledge and training to ensure you get a fair settlement. They can also help you avoid common pitfalls that people make when handling their own claims, such as missing deadlines or not filing in time. Choose an attorney who specializes in your type of accident and has a track record of winning cases.

Understanding the Personal Injury Claim Process

Almost all personal injury cases are settled through negotiations, sometimes before a lawsuit is even filed. However, a few cases do go to trial, so you need a lawyer with trial experience. Ask your potential attorney what their success rate is and if they have successfully litigated personal injury cases to a jury verdict.

Most personal injury attorneys are paid on a contingency basis, which means they do not get paid unless they win your case. The amount of the contingency fee will vary, but it is important to find an attorney who charges a reasonable percentage. The best personal injury lawyers will explain the contingency fee structure in detail during your initial consultation.

You should also look for an attorney who is clear in communication and easy to talk to. Because your case can take a long time, you want an attorney who will be available to answer your questions and address your concerns. Also, look for an attorney who maintains a regular schedule of communications so you can receive timely updates about your case.
